Might be giving my age away...but I remember when a person who was 26 was considered a full adult, and then some.

People used to marry at 21 or 22...by 26 they had a mortgage and two kids, maybe more.

Adults, used to be...well...adult.

Whatever happened with that?

Some people don't wish to be married and have children in their early-20's to mid-20's and there is nothing wrong with that pathway, either.

By the time I was 18 I, and the rest of my 4-man crew, had the keys to launch a 9MT nuke on a ICBM.

That kind of responsibility makes you grow up real fast.

It also cemented me as a conservative.
